Absolute paths to resources aren't handled correctly
Reported by Christopher Stawarz | July 7th, 2015 @ 02:35 PM | in 0.7.0 (closed)
When a resource file (e.g. image, sound) is identified via an absolute path,
- the file is copied to an appropriate subdirectory of the
experiment's server-side "Experiment Cache" directory (good),
but
- MWorks still tries to load the file using the original, client-side absolute path (bad).
Item 2 happens because the specialization of
mw::ParameterValue::convert that returns a
boost::filesystem::path uses
mw::expandPath, and mw::expandPath
doesn't prepend the working directory to paths that start with
/. I think any changes will need to happen in
ParameterValue::convert, since expandPath
is used both client-side (where absolute paths shouldn't be
altered) and server-side (where they should).
